Summary
Compassionate Early Childhood Educator looking to use their years of knowledge in the classroom to brach out into a more administrative role. Working with children and their families in a classroom setting while maintaining written documentation of each childs development, as well as keeping on top of emails from parents, has made me great at multi- tasking. Working in a classroom setting has also given me the opportunity to excell in being independently motivated as well as a strong opportunity to work collaboratively with not only other educators, but with the children and their families in our care as well. These are strengths that will lend themselves well to any administrative role.
